Been working on this song off and on for the past few months, in between everything else thats been going on. I had a lot of help from my dad recording and producing as well as my beautiful and very talented wife writing some of the lyrics ❤️ This is the first time Ive mixed and mastered a track so its not perfect but Ive learned a lot in these past few weeks and hope to have better results the more experienced I get with the process. The lyrics were one of my favorite parts, the first song Ive ever written trying to tell an actual story. I will post the lyrics in case its hard to hear me while Im singing haha. Anyways, Im on drums, bass and lead vocals for this track. My dad played and wrote all of the guitar parts and the three-part harmonies. I would like to know what everyone thinks and I hope it will be fun to listen to

Lyrics:
Salem

V1
One night, under blood moons light, a darkness summoned me
Guided me down to a place, where the wicked were bereaved
Out from behind a grave, I heard her desperate plea
She cried of the things they did to her and her family

PC1
Why is it I know your face your freckles and your hair
A look I know too well, she said tell me do you care

C1
Nice to meet you mrs. weary, dark and dreary, terror on your face
I wanna know your sins your crimes, why did they kill you in this way
Mr. jones was a little leery, arbitrary and callous in his faith
Without an explanation, decided they would burn the dark away

V2
When I awoke to ash and smoke, i couldn't believe my eyes
My body in front of me, still smoldering in the fire
Enticing a rage in me, they'll call me death, they'll call me blight
I'll never fade away nor will I leave this place till my revenge is satisfied

PC2
I dont have to ask you to tell me who you are
Spitting image of mr jones, the youngest one so far

C2
Nice to meet you frederick junior, darkest humor, and just about his age
Ill get revenge on every jones compelled to come down to my grave
Freddy jones you're a little leery, ancillary, naive of family faith
Your cursed family will pay for all his previous mistakes

PC3
A debt I will collect she whispered in his ear
Your life is mine to take she said, what is there to fear

C3
Nice to meet you mrs. weary, dark and dreary, your hands around my neck
Please help me grandpa jones my life and soul is what she will collect
Mr. jones was a condescending, overbearing, evil in his craze
My lids grew heavy as my vision faded, and then I slipped away

Salem

Float away

Intro
I got a girl, so lovely and sweet
In all of the world, my one and only
She stole my heart, is what they believe
But I gave it up, to her openly

V1
My simple ways and all my simple days, they melt away
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my toes, the warmth of her love
All Ive ever wanted is you

C1
I will love you, for the rest of my days, the rest of my days
When I see your face, a feeling rises in me, like I could float away, I could float away, I could float away

V2
With you Ive had my firsts, but lasts not a one, nothing can erase, no no
I want for nothing, except for one, to see your face smiling everyday
All I ever needed is you

C2
I will love you, for the rest of my days, the rest of my days
When I see your face, a feeling rises in me, like I could float away, I could float away, I could float away

C3
I will love you, for the rest of my days, the rest of my days
When I see your face, a feeling rises in me, like I could float away, I could float away, I could float away
